Trey Burke had 18 points and eight assists, and No. 1 Michigan was nearly flawless at the start Wednesday night en route to a 68-46 victory over Northwestern. The Wolverines made 10 of their first 11 shots and went the entire first half without a turnover. They didn’t commit a foul, either, until the final minute of the half.

Entering Wednesday’s game, Michigan sharpshooter Nik Stauskas had made just 7 of his last 22 3-pointers (32 percent). That’s not a huge slump for many shooters across the country, but Stauskas drained 57 percent of his triples during the nonconference season.

On Wednesday night’s “Big Ten Tip-Off Show,” our crew ranked and analyzed the Big Ten’s top five dunks of January in segment appropriately called “The Best of Jam-uary.” Who made the cut? Spoiler alert: Ohio State’s Sam Thompson makes an obvious appearance. That’s all we’ll give away, though. See all the top dunks in this fun feature now.

In a matchup of the Big Ten’s two best defenses, it was Ohio State that prevailed with a nine-point home victory over Wisconsin. Both of these teams rely on good old fashioned B1G defense: make you miss (without fouling), then secure the carom. Turnovers are optional.

Last week “The Journey: Big Ten Basketball 2013″ took you inside the Iowa Hawkeyes moving remembrance of former player Chris Street (watch the moment in this post).

The show debuts Saturday at 9 p.m. ET after the Ohio State-Nebraska game.

It’s all coming together for Tim Hardaway Jr., during his junior season at Michigan. He’s enjoying the best season of his Wolverine tenure—and Michigan is ranked No. 1 for the first time since 1992-93 as it tries to win the school’s first national title since Glen Rice led the school to the Promised Land in 1988-89.
